User feedback says it best:

"..arguably the most productivity-enhancing idea since background compilation and all of the things that enables (namely refactoring and syntax highlighting). I just don't know how I ever was able to read and understand the Eclipse sources (or the sources of other large projects I've worked on) before Mylar, it's just that good.“ (David Orme)‏

“I would like to commend you on this very good tool. It has increased my productivity by 3 folds - no kidding...” (Deepak Devje)‏
